  • Title: [Three-way prosthetic repair of the pelvic floor].
    Author: von Theobald P, Labbé E.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 2003 Oct; 32(6):562-70. PubMed ID: 14593303.
    Abstract:
    We describe the triple operation for prolapse with prosthesis in patients with pelvic organ prolapse using a vesicovaginal mesh for the cystocele, a rectovaginal mesh for the rectocele and a posterior retro-and trans levatory vault suspension sling. Preliminary results in a consecutive series of 92 patients who underwent surgery between June 2001 and December 2002 showed three cases of vaginal erosion in contact with the prosthetic material, and one hematoma of the pararectal fossa with secondary abscess formation requiring ablation of the implant. There was one immediate anatomic failure. Function was good with no reports of dyspareunia or dyschesia.
